    I was granted special clearance after passing a polygraph test. =)

    Unfortunately, SBR Poker doesn't run in native OSX. However, the following options are available to you:

    • Boot Camp: Install a copy of Windows on your Mac.
    • Wine: Wine is a free, open source application that works by converting the application extension.
    • Crossover: This is a relatively cheap program that one SBR Poster has reported works. It works similar to Wine.
    • Parallels: A virtual emulator can be used to run Windows. This is probably the worst of the options since it is more resource intensive and slower than the others. The other options on this list would run the application at Windows speed.

    You can check out the full SBR Poker FAQ thread here.

    You are good. You joined prior to April 14th. PM Lou and get a password.

    I'm not worried about ghosts so much as I want to keep the sharks out. Its fun to play when everyone is about the same level. This is a beginners game.
